some clarification...

For those of you in Internet-land, I have some explanations for you. Some people have been asking me about who Mike is and my crazy comments to him. Mike is a friend who lives in a different city. My cousin and roommate Angela and Mike joke that they are married. Often I relay messages between them. Now come on people, wasn't not knowing more interesting? It lets your imagination run wild.

I have been getting several calls lately for more tutoring work. Everyone is panicking about midterms. Most of them are calling very last minute so I have had to turn them down. I'm a busy girl, you need to book me in advance.

Winter weather has hit Saskatchewan. We got a great deal of snow early yesterday morning and it snowed all today. It has not been that cold but so windy so it makes it feel really cold. I need to call my landlady because cold air is getting in through our less than a year old window frames. My room is the coldest in the house yet it is on the second floor and an east facing window. It is colder than 20C. So you can imagine how much cold air is getting in.

The roads are horrible in the city. I cannot believe that the major roads have not been plowed yet! It snowed yesterday morning for the first time and there have been no snow plows yet. It took my roommate 45 minutes to get home from work where it normally takes her 20. In my hometown (which is about the same size as the city I live in now) the freeways were plowed the morning of the snowfall before rush hour. The city had to spend a ton on overtime for city workers but it was a price the citizens were willing to pay. I can't believe I have another 6 months of this weather. We had such a cold summer, now winter has come so early. I love winter but hate winter driving.
